    Grady CAPSIZES Saturday 12/30 in the Chesapeake

    A thru hull is a hole in the boat that either allows water to drain out or allows water intake from a pump. Live well intake on Grady's is that raised bronze screen on the very bottom of the boat. Should be a 'shut-off' in the bilge for the live well water intake.

    1990 GW 19' Tournament scupper question

    I have an Escape 209 so I'm not familiar with your battery layout. But I don't think water around battery is good. First, GET A WORKING BILGE PUMP ASAP! Also, pull drain plug and find a steep hill to park on. You may have water hanging out up front that doesn't drain when on trailer...

    Running outboard with no water!

    I don't think a few seconds would hurt. When was waterpump impeller changed last? Waterpump rebuild is fairly easy to DIY. Are you winterizing soon?

    150hp 2 stroke on 209 Escape

    fishermanaddict, To me, the Escape with 200HPDI is the perfect combo. I suggest you search in this forum for archived discussions. Search "Escape 209 repower". Great Grady folks were extremely helpful. Search also on The Hull Truth website. I considered F225 but additional weight on aft...
